Why we give a flying fish about integrating satellite ocean color into EBFM

NOAA Library Seminars

Date: April 9, 2025 | 3-4 PM ET

Speakers: Ryan Vandermeulen, NOAA Fisheries Office of Science & Technology, Satellite Coordinator 

Seminar Contacts: library.seminars@noaa.gov EBFM/EBM Environmental Science Coordinator, Peg Brady (peg.brady@noaa.gov)

Abstract: Satellite remote sensing of the ocean’s color yields a synoptic vantage point of living and non-living components of the aquatic environment, offering critical insights into ecosystem variability, function, health, and vulnerability. With recent advances in satellite technology, additional inferences have been made possible pertaining to the underwater photic environment, phytoplankton community composition, biogeochemistry, and even copepod distributions. This presentation will highlight some of these advancements, and cover efforts within NOAA Fisheries to integrate emergent and future satellite capabilities into ecosystem considerations for fisheries management.

Keywords: Satellite Remote Sensing, Ocean Color, Primary Productivity
